My Greek Island Home launch party

Luckily for Claire Lloyd, all the guests at the launch of her
book My Greek Island Home were dog lovers. The book charts
her move to Lesvos, and makes mention of the organisation she set
up to rescue the island's stray dogs. Those that she doesn't adopt
herself, she rehouses with other people, many of whom are her
friends in the UK. So of course they were all invited to the party
at Wild at Heart! Its owner Nikki Tibbles came with Lenny and
Smith, William Yeoward and Colin Orchard came with Robert, and
April and Maisy came with their new owners Caroline and John. There
were treats for the dogs, and even better treats for the humans;
with The Grilling Greek cooking up vegetarian kebabs, toasted pitta
and rosemary roasted potatoes. In fact, it was such a warm, light
evening, the mood was so jovial, and the olive branches and
delphiniums around them were so evocative that, if you squinted a
little bit, it was almost like being on a Greek island.
